Last Minute Gift Ideas

2009-12-11T05:01:00.000-08:00

The Big Day approaches, and many of us have at least one person who has us stumped. If they enjoy a drink or two, consider a Wine Cooler or Mini Beer Keg Dispenser.

The Avanti MBD5L 5 Liter (a little over 5 quarts) is ideal for a home, boat, RV or Camper. A great idea for those who take tail-gating to a high level. Or, you can impress your friends by pouring a glass of beer on tap, and it's reasonably priced at $219.95.

If your beer lover deserves a more extravagant gift, perhaps the Summit SBC490-OS Outdoor Keg Refrigerator is your choice. It accepts half, quarter, mini kegs and coverts to an outdoor refrigerator with the included shelves. With auto-defrost and an adjustable thermostat, its function is equal to its beautiful design.

Wine Coolers can be found in sizes ranging from 6 bottles to room-sized refrigeration units. Most wine lovers are happy for a storage size somewhere in-between. The Avanti WC1500DSS is a single zone 30 Bottle wine chiller which has an electronic display, interior lighting and is ADA Compliant. The reversible double pane glass door helps keep a consistent inner temperature, while the slide-out shelves make it simple to choose the perfect vintage.

Induction Cooking Revisited - New GE Profile Range

2009-11-16T10:16:00.000-08:00

Taking the induction cooktop one step farther, GE has introduced its first Free-Standing Range with Induction Cooking. This new 30" entry into the GE Profile line features a 3700 watt output element for quick and efficient induction cooking. Induction cooking saves time by bringing water to the boiling point faster than gas or electric. It also offers the responsiveness of gas cooking, with much greater efficiency, as practically no heat is lost in the transference to the pot.

The GE PHB925SPSS not only offers an induction cooktop, but the super large 5.3 Cu. Ft. oven features the PreciseAir Convection System, which delivers even air and heat circulation for superior baking and roasting results. Hold foods at the proper temperature with the convenient warming drawer which keeps food up to 220 degrees. The Knob-Free controls illuminate, for ease in the control setting process, for both the cooktop and the oven. It is a stainless steel model, both elegant and functional.

Just a reminder, specific types of cookware are required for induction cooking. Cast iron, steel and some magnetic stainless steel are the types of cookware that will work on an induction cooktop. You can check your cookware by taking a refrigerator magnet, if it sticks to the bottom of your pot or pan, it will work with an induction cooktop.

With all the performance benefits of the GE Profile line, The PHB925SPSS gives the chef of your home, all the tools needed to prepare meals with restaurant level results.

Just How Does Induction Cooking Work?

2009-11-11T06:00:00.000-08:00

The easy answer…quickly. Induction cooking uses electromagnets to create an alternating electric field, which transfers energy to your cookware, saving much of the energy usually lost in the transfer. Most gas burners waste up to 70% of their energy because the flames heat the air around the pot. Electric coils are more efficient, losing only around 30% percent, but induction cooktops utilize up to 90% of their energy.

The glass ceramic surface of the cooktop remains cool to the touch, only warming where the pot and cooktop touch, as the pot transfers some of its heat back to the cooktop. The really great feature of these cooktops is the speed at which they get the job done. Boil a pot of water in ¼ to ½ the normal time. One thing to keep in mind before purchasing an induction cooktop, is they require specific types of cookware to function. Cast iron, steel and some magnetic stainless steel are the types of cookware that will work on an induction cooktop. You can check your cookware by taking a refrigerator magnet, if it sticks to the bottom of your pot or pan, it will work with an induction cooktop.

The Summit line of induction cooktops come with a complimentary 7-piece cookware set, so you don’t have to worry whether or not your cookware will be acceptable to use. They have single zone and double zone models and are either portable or built-in. One of the single zone cooktops, the SINCFS1 is a portable unit, so you can use it anywhere in the kitchen, or move it to the dining room to keep your cooked dishes warm.

While induction cooking is not the choice for everyone, the ease of temperature control, safety, ease of cleaning and energy efficiency, make this an appliance worth looking into when planning an addition or change in your cooktop.

Empire Comfort Systems Heritage Cast Iron Gas Stove

2009-11-02T12:40:00.000-08:00

The trees are almost bare, the air has a brisk and clean feel to it and the sun is up for far too short a time. November has arrived, and while this month has many opportunities to enjoy the outdoors, too soon it will be time to burrow indoors and wait for the chill of winter. Take a walk outdoors and you can smell the burning of wood, as someone is warming their home with a wood fireplace. Though not all of us have a wood-burning fireplace to enjoy, most of us can enjoy the ambiance of the flames with a gas stove.

Empire Comfort Systems offers both Vent-Free and Direct-Vent Gas Stoves which combine beauty and function. Their Vent-Free products are 99.9% fuel efficient and are the perfect choice where there is no access to flues or chimneys. They also offer automatic safety shut-off devices.

Direct-Vent models increase economy by using outside air to support combustion. The inside air is warmed as it recirculates around a sealed combustion chamber, and that warm air heats the room. Direct-Vent can be used where existing flues or chimneys cannot be used.

The Empire Comfort Systems Heritage Cast Iron Stove for example, offers 32,000 BTUs, is available in five colors and your choice of Liquid Propane or Natural Gas. Choose either the Vent-Free model (VFP-30-CA30) or the Direct Vent model (DVP-30-CA30). It has the look of an old-fashioned stove, with fully functional doors and a six-piece ceramic log set with a soft glowing realistic ember bed. All the ambiance of a wood burning fireplace, without the work.

Now we know why the Maytag repairman is so lonely.

2009-10-27T06:09:00.000-07:00

Over the years we have all heard about the lonely Maytag repairman. And if he has many customers like Jane Thompson, this may be the reason why. It seems Mrs. Thompson from Sand Springs, Oklahoma, has until recently been using a Maytag washer and dryer which she received in 1957. That’s right, 1957.
It seems she was having a problem with her dryer…the door latch would not stay closed. When her daughter called to have it repaired, Maytag could hardly believe their ears. A 52 year old working washer and dryer…did I mention it was pink? They offered her a replacement pair so they could put her set in the Maytag Museum in Michigan. It took some persuading but she finally agreed to the exchange, under the condition that if it doesn’t work as well, they will return her original pair to her.

Now, we doubt the new set will last 52 years, but the Maytag brand is built on dependability, so we feel confident she will enjoy her new Centennial Washer and Dryer.

Mold and Mildew

2009-10-06T06:08:00.000-07:00

We are all aware of the potential dangers of mold and mildew in our homes. But did you know that there is a difference between the two?

They both are commonly found in the same warm, damp environments, but they actually are different types of fungi.

Mildew is what is usually found in showers and textiles, while mold is more often found in food. Both can be a problem for individuals with respiratory conditions. If your home has a more than average amount of moisture content, you might think about installing a dehumidifier.

Portable units make easy to take care of the problem. Whether you connect a dehumidifier to a nearby drain or empty the bucket as needed, using a dehumidifier will make your home drier and healthier for the whole family

The Amana D530M is a 30 pint per day basement dehumidifier that is Energy Star Qualified. The D530 has 2 fan speeds, a washable filter, an external drain hose connection and casters for easy portability

GE Energy Star Refrigerator/NJ Recycling Program

2009-10-05T04:55:00.000-07:00

In the market for a new refrigerator or freezer? We all want to go a little more green in our purchases, both for the environment…and for our bottom line. A couple of things to keep in mind before updating.

A refrigerator can account for more than 20% of the energy used in your home, so thinking about energy ratings can make a big difference in energy usage long term.

The difference in kilowatt usage of older refrigerators and models made after 1990 is extreme. For example, a 20 year-old refrigerator or freezer consumes an average of 1,500 kilowatt hours annually, compared to 400-500 kilowatt hours for appliances manufactured after 1990. Energy star qualified appliances give you even more efficiency, and even lower utility bills.

Now, there is no reason to compromise style for energy efficiency. Energy efficient models have all the bells, whistles and design of other high energy using models.

For example the GE PFCS1PJYSA: This 20.8 Cu. Ft. Energy Star French Door refrigerator is counter-depth, has an external filtered water dispenser, a multi-flow air system, external digital temperature display, LED lighting and high-end styling.

It is available as shown in Stainless Steel, as well as Black (PFCF1PJYBB) and White (PFCF1PJYWW.

Attention New Jersey Residents: Refrigerator/Freezer Recycling Program

New Jersey’s Clean Energy Program has partnered with JACO Environmental to reduce CO² emissions and save energy by recycling old refrigerators and freezers. This program offers $30 cash back for recycling responsibly. You can upgrade to a more energy efficient product, thereby saving money in electrical costs…while at the same time getting a cash refund for an old refrigerator or freezer. The best part is the old unit is picked-up for FREE.

There are some restrictions, so for more information visit http://www.njcleanenergy.com/ or call NJCEP at 877-270-3520.

Recycling in this program reduces about 95% of the materials used in the manufacturing of each refrigerator or freezer and safely disposes of the toxins and ozone-depleting chlorofluorocarbon gases from foam insulation. A big step toward making the world a environmentally happy place.
